After a devastating accident, Barret Atkins has accepted a quiet, solitary existence. His life is turned upside down, when he finds the badly injured Kansas Smith, left for dead in a case of mistaken identity. As Kansas begins to recover, Barret must face some deep scars of his own. When the couple begin to fall for each other, their lives spin into a revival of past hurts, jealousies, and betrayals, causing Barret to put a halt to their budding relationship.

Barret’s hesitation causes his best friend-turned vicious rival, Duncan Craig, to pursue a friendship with Kansas. Where will this leave Barret? Can they all hold on long enough to escape Kansas’s attacker, and will they ever conquer their own inner demons intent on keeping them apart.

SNIPPETBarret thought of Kansas alone in her hospital bed. She was a sweet, sensitive soul who had money and glamour handed to her, but wanted a devoted husband and family instead. He had to admit that he admired the fact that she divorced her cheating husband, and struck out on her own. Maybe, if they’d met ten years earlier they could have given each other the contentment of marriage and fulfillment of family they both desired. But, even ten years ago wouldn’t have mattered. At that time, Kansas had been married to Quinn Michaels, who was an up and coming star. The thrill of his rise to fame had probably been invigorating for both of them. And, he was twenty-eight at the time, trying to raise his ten year old sister with very little help from his mother, and trying to finally get his career started.
